Positano es una comuna italiana de 3862 habitantes, localizada en la región de Campania, en el sur de Italia, situada a la orilla del golfo de Salerno, a unos 40km de Nápoles. Es, junto con Ravello y Amalfi, el destino turístico más importante de la Costa Amalfitana (Costiera Amalfitana).

Parte integrante de la antigua República Amalfitana, una de las más pujantes de Italia durante la Alta Edad Media, su activo puerto entró en decadencia como consecuencia de la desaparición de la república debido a las incursiones de Roger II de Sicilia y los pisanos. Durante parte de los siglosXIX y XX, una porción significativa de los habitantes del pueblo emigraron a Estados Unidos para huir de la pobreza.

La suerte del pueblo comenzó a cambiar en los años 1950 gracias al turismo. Un suave clima unido a un bellísimo entorno propició la llegada de turistas adinerados de toda Europa y los Estados Unidos. Uno de los más ilustres visitantes del pueblo, el novelista estadounidense John Steinbeck contribuyó a dar a conocer el atractivo del pueblo con su artículo de mayo de 1953 en el  Harper's Bazaar: "Positano bites deep, it is a dream place that isn't quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone". ("Positano te marca. Es un lugar de ensueño que no parece real mientras se está allí, pero que se hace real en la nostalgia cuando te has ido").

Entre los productos de Positano destacan la moda, la cerámica, el limoncello y "albertissimo".

Como parte de la Costa Amalfitana, Positano ha sido declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco.

Will buy-to-let owners get 10% tax break?
The latest changes to capital gains tax will grant those selling a business a 10% tax rate on the first £1m they make when they sell-up.
This has almost halved the 18% tax entrepreneurs would have faced under plans to introduce a flat capital gains tax rate for all – but the Government seems set on excluding Britain's biggest entrepreneurial movement: buy-to-let landlords.
While the details of the relief have yet to be released, indications are that investors in residential property will be specifically not be classed as entrepreneurs.
However, from April 6 buy-to-let landlords will see significant benefits from changes to capital gains tax.
This is Money answers your questions on entrepreneur's relief and the tax changes.
Entrepreneur's relief was launched after a backlash against the new flat 18% rate of capital gains tax (CGT) due to be introduced on April 6, this year. In his Pre-Budget Report last Autumn, Chancellor Alistair Darling attempted to simplify the complex CGT system by introducing a single new flat rate.
However, the change also abolished the taper relief system used to cut the rate of tax depending on how long an asset had been held. This would have increased the minimum tax rate on capital gains for those selling a business held for longer than ten years from 10% to 18%.
A campaign against the change was launched by business pressure groups and as a result the Government has now backtracked and brought in entrepreneur's relief, giving a 10% rate of tax on any capital gains up to a lifetime limit of £1m, after that tax will be payable at 18%.
So will this benefit buy-to-let landlords?
The short answer is no. Neither the Treasury nor HMRC have given the full details of the new entrepreneur's relief but the example given on the HMRC website, explicitly excludes property letting.
This certainly excludes small landlords and appears to exclude those who run bigger buy-to-let businesses, too. If larger landlords run their operation as a full-time registered business it may be possible to benefit from the relief, but the Government will be very reluctant to let buy-to-letters gain a lower tax rate because of the risk of a political backlash.
Is there any good news for buy-to-let?
Yes, the good news for landlords is that despite missing out on entrepreneur's relief they will still gain significantly from the tax changes. The flat 18% rate of tax replaces CGT on a sliding scale, coming down from 40% for higher rate taxpayers.
Even with taper relief the minimum tax rate on residential property is 24% until the changes come in, so those who have held properties the longest will get a 6% tax cut and those who have held them for a shorter time an even bigger break.
How low can buy-to-let landlords make their CGT bill?
The £9,200 CGT threshold (2007/08) will mean those selling buy-to-let properties will pay 18% tax on any gains above this figure. This can be cut further by married couples splitting gains to take advantage of both their CGT allowances.
The biggest benefit is for those who have previously lived in a property or held it as their 'Principle Private Residence' and can therefore benefit from no capital gains tax during the time they lived in the property, Lettings Relief and no capital gains tax levied on the last three years of ownership. This could effectively bring their tax bill down to zero.

Here Are The Queens For Season 11 of 'RuPaul's Drag Race'!

Could "All Stars 4" Be The Best "RuPaul's Drag Race" Season Yet?
By Monique on Monday, November 12, 2018
TV LGBT
Who could be the tenth queen on "RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars 3" Here are two predictions.
By Monique on Friday, October 27, 2017
It's been a week since the cast of RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars 3 was announced, and everyone's been making predictions about who will go home first, who will make it to the final three, and who could be the villain of the season. But my big question is who is the surprise tenth queen?
Yes, there are supposed to be 10 all-star queens, not just nine. While the cast is full of heavy-hitters like Trixie Mattel, Shangela, Morgan McMichaels, Chi-Chi DeVayne and Kennedy Davenport, the mystery tenth queen must be someone that even tops them in terms of popularity.
I have two choices for the tenth queen.
Choice 1: Valentina
Of course, I've got to say Valentina. Rumor has it that she turned down a spot on this season because of her image (i.e. how she's trying to rehabilitate her image somewhat since the end of last season's RuPaul's Drag Race), her work schedule, whatever. But if there's any place to try to rehabilitate your image, an all-stars season of RuPaul's Drag Race has to be it. Just see what happened to Roxxxy Andrews, who was the out-and-out villain of her season, but became the fan favorite during All Stars 2. She went back with the goal of fixing her image with the fans, and she more than succeeded. In that respect, she was the true winner of the season; even though Alaska won, she still came away with the fan-made title "Queen of Snakes" for being too focused on winning.
Valentina could certainly have this makeover moment on RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars 3. Not only did has have an ugly time on her season's reunion episode, but she left the season in such a shocking way. She probably felt like she let tons of fans down, and being on All-Stars could certainly be a way she could try to redeem herself in her own mind. Chances are good we could be seeing her face as the big reveal. Also, my gut feels like they're setting Aja up for a Coco Montrese/Alyssa Edwards reunion a la All Stars 2.
Choice 2: Nina Bo'nina Brown
Nina doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar. But she totally should be! Regardless of what some obsessive Valentina stans think, Nina became a fan favorite, and not solely because of her jaw-dropping makeup skills.
Nina became a huge favorite because of her vulnerability. A lot of us can identify with her struggles with depression and self-esteem, and seeing her excel despite her self-sabotage actually gives a lot of people hope. If Nina can persevere, you might think, I can too!
Also, the fact that she was met with racism—just for doing what she was supposed to do, which was win the lip-synch—is also something that has bound fans to her. There's been a virulent strain of fans who latch on to certain queens and degrade others, and unfortunately, race is the common denominator. Nina doesn't deserve that, and neither does Kennedy Davenport, who also had tons of racism thrown at her for literally no reason.
If Nina shows up on All-Stars 3, I can only imagine that it's RuPaul's way of giving Nina a second chance to have the run she was supposed to have on her original season. RuPaul really connected with Nina, and I think it's because she could identify with Nina's struggles with her "inner saboteur." If Nina comes back, I think she'll kill it.
Who do you think will come back as the surprise queen? Write your guesses in the comments section below!

"RuPaul's Drag Race"/"Untucked" Season 9 recap: Give a cheer!
By Monique on Saturday, April 1, 2017
RuPaul's Drag Race Season 9| Episode 2 | "She Done Already Done Brought It On" | Aired March 31, 2017
Oh, Jaymes Mansfield. I had such high hopes for you. We all had high hopes for you. If there was ever a time to use that Tyra Banks "We were all rooting for you" .gif, now would be the time.
I've recently become a fan of Jaymes Mansfield from her YouTube page, and after seeing how lively, bubbly, energetic and knowledgeable she is on her channel, it's a shame none of it translated to the Drag Race stage. Jaymes already knew she was in her head too much, but she just couldn't shake whatever shellshock she had. I'm not knocking her for it, though. As an introverted person, it sometimes takes a while for us to get used to a new environment, and in the meantime, we're left looking and feeling like a shell of ourselves. That's what happened to Jaymes here. All of the girls (well, almost all of them) seemed to understand that and tried to help her out as best they could, but ultimately, the real challenge was up to Jaymes and she just couldn't get out of her own way enough to really shine. She'll be fine, though–she's got tons of fans, and she's garnered even more after folks sympathized with her during her short time there.
However, wouldn't it be amazing if Jaymes got the Trixie Mattel save and was brought back for a second chance? That would be spectacular!
Speaking of second chances, how great is it to see Ms. Cucu, Cynthia Lee Fontaine, back again! I'm a big Cucu fan, so I'm excited to see her energy on this season. It's especially great to see her healthy after her liver cancer bout. I'm glad she was able to overcome this serious disease and come back to her full vigor.
This challenge was all about vigor, since it was a cheerleading challenge, but not where the queens just had to look like cheerleaders–they actually had to perform real cheerleading moves. As Nina said during Untucked, that was the most strenous challenge yet on Drag Race. I'm almost surprised they let that one be a challenge period, much less the first challenge, since it requires skills not everyone has, like doing splits and cartwheels and stuff.
However, like true professionals, everyone rose to the challenge and did what they had to do. Even Jaymes, who did some really athletic-looking tumbling. However, I have to say that while Valentina gave great Overcaffinated Cheerleader Face, Shea Couleé really gave me Real Girl Cheerleader. I didn't go to a black school (unfortunately), but I feel like I would have seen cheerleaders like Shea Couleé at the black high school of my dreams.
She was also a very strong contender to win; in fact, most of the girls thought was going to be Shea Couleé's win, what with her living out her Dominique Dawes childhood fantasy with a ton of flips and splits. Also, her White Party look was really strong, too. But the win ended up going to Valentina, who mesmerized the judges with her zany cheerleader persona and stunned them with her bridal look, which is based on her own mother's wedding video.
Since I'm talking about the White Party Looks, let's just get into my favorite looks, which are a lot. All of the looks were strong; this might be the first season in which all of the first runway looks for competition were this strong.
Shea Couleé
As the judges (which included the B-52s this week) said, this was a very Barbarella moment. It's executed flawlessly, and she looks like a supermodel in it.
Again, another flawlessly-executed look. If Michelle Visage hadn't pointed out Valentina's nude shoes, I don't think anyone would have even noticed. At least, I wouldn't have noticed. In any case, if that's all she had to complain about, I think that's a clear win for Valentina. Besides, this is ode to her mother and her parents' love. You can't really get too mad at her for this, especially when it looks not only amazing, but expensive and luxurious.
Cynthia Lee Fontaine
Cynthia really gave us a My Fair Lady moment with this outfit, and I think it's the perfect outfit to use as your comeback dress. I feel like we're going to see a lot of fun, gorgeous stuff from Cynthia this season.
Trinity Taylor
Trinity Taylor is someone I haven't mentioned a lot, but I'm rooting for her as hard as I am other queens. She's a Birmingham, AL queen who has made it to the national stage, and even though she's repping Orlando on the show, I have to keep an eye out for a hometown girl. So far, she's done the city proud and she'll keep doing it if she's consistently turning out looks like this. If there's one thing I can say about Trinity is that she has an extremely high level for commitment to an uncomfortable look. If you've seen her Season 9 premiere party performance (and I'm sure other performances out there), you have seen how severely she tucks, to the point where it looks like she has a va-jay-jay. She's not called "The Tuck" for nothing. This look continues that throughline of commitment, because this is all vinyl. How she can stand it, I'll never know.
Nina Bo'nina Brown
This is giving me a "Storm at a P-Diddy White Party" vibe, which I'm a big fan of. She looks amazing, and that hair color is really something special; I'm glad she went with an unexpected gray.
Jaymes Mansfield
Jaymes might have gone home this episode, but I think he had one of the strongest runway looks. Who doesn't like a well-done late '50s/early '60s pinup look? I love it, since this is Jaymes Mansfield at her most Jayne Mansfield. The judges are also right that Jaymes is one of the best padders (is that a word?) in the race.
Charlie Hides
I really like the detail in this dress, particularly that faux-two-piece look. I love a high-waisted skirt or pant, and I love to see it especially when it's executed expertly.
Also, let's talk about how the commenters are ablaze with love for Charlie for telling Eureka to shut up in Untucked. I think some of it was Charlie's own frustration at being in the bottom and his fear of being ousted because of his age, but I also think he was genuinely frustrated with Eureka and has been for some time. I'm not going to get into severe Eureka discussion right now, but Eureka is quickly becoming this season's hated queen, if the comments are anything to go by.
The bottom two were Jaymes and Kimora Blac, who had to lip synch for their lives. I thought Jaymes would be able to get something out of this performance, since she's campy and the B-52s are nothing but pure camp, especially their most iconic song, "Love Shack." But instead, she copied Kimora, who, if her Season 9 performance is anything to go by, isn't the best performer. But I have to hand it to Kimora; she gave the judges personality and a palpable desire to stay, and that's what RuPaul was trying to coax from Jaymes. Darn it, Jaymes!
It was sad to see him leave the show; his Untucked departure was particularly tough, seeing how torn up he was about his performance and how he felt his dreams came undone. This is why I feel like we're in for a surprise with Jaymes. I seriously think she'll be back.
• Hearing Peppermint's story about finding acceptance after a horrible high school ordeal and Cynthia's story about battling cancer are the reasons RuPaul's Drag Race has an Emmy. I love when the show decides to get real and give viewers an insight into the real lives of these contestants. It's not always about glamour and fabulosity; sometimes, it's about overcoming bigotry, finding acceptance, and overcoming what seem like insurmountable obstacles. It's moments like these that show how much of a role model drag queens are.
• I'm glad I was able to being somewhat professional with this recap and not make it a pure gush-fest over Valentina. I'm torn between idolizing Valentina as a woman and harboring a crush on Valentina as James Leyva the man. It's a battle of emotions right now. A result of that is screencapping a ton of Boy Valentina images.
The beautiful people of the world can be really frustrating, can't they?
• Last, but not least–we've got the first RuPaul in Drag moment!
I thought, oddly enough, that this was demure and covered-up for RuPaul. Not that she's always naked or something, but something about the dress looked understated, even though it was a loud cyan-teal. In any event, it's not RuPaul's Drag Race without RuPaul as The Monster, and it's good to see her continue the tradition.
What did you think of this episode? Do you think Jaymes will come back? Give your opinions below!
"RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 9 predictions: Who will be the top 5?
By Monique on Friday, March 17, 2017
Season 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race is upon us come March 24 on VH1, and I can't even figure out who will be the first queen sent home. All of this season's queens seem like they could easily take the win, but even still, I have a couple of predictions as to who will be in the top five. Join me on a journey and see if you agree.
Nina Bonina is someone who is a true unique force. That's tough to say that with this list is because all of these queens on this list are true unique forces who are bringing something new to the art of drag. But what Nina brings is a truly different way to paint. She doesn't just "beat a face" in the traditional beauty queen way; she literally becomes the characters in a hyperrealistic, yet very painterly way. It's astonishing. (Case in point: her Transformations episode in which she made James St. James into Minnie Mouse.)

Damn @AlexisLives I thought I was the padded queen. #RPDR9 #RPDR #ninaboninabrown #dragrace #VH1 #redcarpet pic.twitter.com/FuuWRccrlI
Also, her performances are wildly entertaining as well. Maybe the use of "wildly" is a bit of a pun, since this particular video is of her Season 9 premiere party performance as an ape. (As a Planet of the Apes superfan, it's giving me visions of what an Ape City nightclub must be like and I love it.)
Sasha Velour
Sasha Velour is the performance art queen to beat. Sasha is probably the most avant-garde queen I've seen, and she definitely embodies that artsy New York spirit. She also has given herself the unique trademark of an artistic unibrow, which takes from further still from the traditional beauty makeup and presentation of what the mainstream might think of as a drag queen. Overall, Sasha's elevated drag to a fine art level.
Shea Couleé has the makeup skills down and her own set of avant-garde references, as she showed in her episode of Transformations:
But she also has some amazing dancing skills, too, particularly with her Beyoncé performances.
I think she's probably the most conventional on the list, but she's got tons of stage presence, and she seems to be in line with the RuPaul mold of Young, Gifted and Black supermodel queens. RuPaul does like her Black Barbie queens, as evidenced by the wins of Bebe Sahara Benét, Tyra Sanchez, and Bob the Drag Queen (who does fall in line with that description for me–wouldn't you count Viola Davis as a Barbie?), so Shea Coulee could certainly end up following in that tradition.
I hope one day Valentina's fans start calling her La Valentina, because she's a true Diva in every sense of the word. Well, except for being mean; of course I haven't seen the show, but she doesn't strike me as a malicious queen. What she does strike me as is humble, graceful, and gracious to her fans, which is how our Divas used to be back in the day (if, for some Divas, only in their outward appearance to the public).
Valentina really embodies that Diva persona in the best possible way, so much so that it does take me back to my childhood in the '90s, when you would see these larger-than-life singers like Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey and Celine Dion and say, "Yes, that's how a superstar is supposed to be!"
Of course, I'm using examples from my very narrow perspective; clearly, Valentina's true love lies in showcasing the divas of her childhood and of her background, like Yma Sumac, Isabel Pantoja and Selena Quintanilla, to name just a few. Valentina said in her "Meet the Queens" interview that she tries to bring that telenovela, over-the-top dramatic style to her drag, and she certainly does, and for me, it's the most comforting thing ever.
Also, she's Boulet Brothers approved: She won a live stage version of "Dragula" two years ago, so if she can get the Boulet Brothers' stamp of approval, then that means she's definitely got some skills up her sleeve.
Congratulations to @allaboutvalentina ! Valentina won the club version of Dragula in Los Angeles two years ago, and has continued to claw her way to the top. We hope all your dreams come true and you slay on @rupaulsdragrace darling! (pic from Queen Kong by @jeremylucido ) #bouletbrothers #rupaulsdragrace #wowreport #valentina #queenkong
A post shared by Boulet Brothers (@bouletbrothers) on Feb 2, 2017 at 11:18am PST
For me, it's really going to come between Valentina, Sasha Velour and Aja for the crown. That's my prediction and I'm sticking to it. Aja really has something special that gives her the X factor, and I think it's her ability to tie today's drag trends and direction to past influences, like The Fifth Element, singer La India and John Leguizamo's drag-filled one-man comedy acts from the early '90s. We haven't even talked about her intense voguing yet, or her ability to perform to any song, whether it's by a man or woman, whether it's rap, R&B, salsa, what have you.
Many have tried to read her for looking a lot like Naomi Smalls, but could it be the no breastplate thing is just coming into vogue now? As I wrote above, Aja's just as much about trends and trendsetting as she is about showcasing her varied pop culture influences and knowledge in her performances. I think she's been able to combine everything we've seen from recent seasons and make something one-of-a-kind. It's that alchemical ability that just might allow her to snatch the crown.
And just for good measure, here's the act Aja was referencing in the John Leguizamo mix, "Manny the Fanny."
Aja not only entertained me, but she taught me something new and increased my love for John Leguizamo ten-fold. Of course I'm going to root for her.
Who do you think will be in the top five? Who do you think will win? Give your opinions below!

And Since He Didn't Know It Was Impossible, He Did It
200 Shared
How many times have you stopped yourself along the way because someone told you not to go on, that you would never reach your goal? All of us probably have at least once in all sorts of situations.
I've seen tremendous cases of disapproval. Teachers, mothers and fathers, siblings, friends, all hell-bent on making someone out to be completely worthless.
And it's true, it's happened to all of us. There are countless things that we've never done throughout our lives because we were told that we couldn't do it and we believed it. It's astounding how many possibilities life has offered us that we never even tried to take advantage of because we already "knew" ahead of time that we weren't going to be able to achieve our goal.
There are many ways to discourage someone, each one more painful than the last. I've heard people say hundreds of times, "you're not going to manage it," "don't waste your time," "you're wasting your life," and a multitude of other such phrases.
But most of the time, it's something very subtle. Discouraging glances — sneering and mocking ones, desperate and misunderstanding ones — at the colossal effort that heroes big and small have made to achieve something.
There are people who think that they will never manage to learn a language, get in shape, overcome their shyness, win a trophy, or learn to drive. We have seen it countless times…and we have also watched thousands of times as the most destructive and fatal warnings came from family or school. Why? When we are little, what others tell us forms our identity and the image that we have of ourselves.
We are all guilty of killing dreams on a regular basis (even knowing that it is crippling and trying to avoid this).
But the truth is, anything is possible. Even if it cannot be done one way, it will be done in another. As Edison said, "Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it." We can do whatever we want if we just try hard enough, because wanting does not always mean being able to, but it certainly helps and is the only way to achieve it.
Once upon a time, there were two boys who went ice-skating on a frozen pond. It was a cold, cloudy afternoon, but the boys were playing without a care in the world. Suddenly, the ice broke and one of the boys fell into the water, trapped. The other boy, seeing that his friend was drowning under the ice, took a stone and started slamming it into the ice with all his might until he managed to break the frozen layer. He took hold of his friend and saved him.
When the firefighters arrived and saw what had happened, they wondered how he did it, for the ice was very thick.
"It's impossible for him to have broken it with that stone and his tiny little hands," they claimed.
At that very moment, an old man appeared and said:
"I know how he did it."
"There was nobody around to tell him he couldn't do it."
Everyone should apply today's story to their own lives and break the ice to save themselves from a sure death. Inside each and every one of us is the strength to fall a thousand times and get up a thousand and one. We have the courage to confront pain and put the pieces back together where others broke them.
Those of us who pursue an objective know that setting goals is the first step, turning a deaf ear to the dream-killers the second, and reaching a point of no-return the third; that is to say, the moment when the only option we have left is just to achieve it.
In the words of Seneca, "It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult."
So if you want to go where the majority has never gone, you need to do something that the majority doesn't do: believe in yourself!

Chinese Censors Delete Account of Journalist Who Criticized Centenary Performances
Social media users report a marked increase in the deletion of posts and accounts by government censors in recent weeks.
Chorus members rehearse before the celebration marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing, July 1, 2021.
A journalist who criticized the performance of a hand-picked youth representative at the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s centenary celebrations on Tiananmen Square has had her social media account deleted, RFA has learned.
The Weibo account of Song Shiting, a reporter for Sanlian Life Weekly, disappeared on Friday after she made fun of delegates representing the CCP's Youth League at the ceremony, who seemed to have been picked for their model-like looks.
Viewing a contribution by university student Feng Lin, whose appearance took Chinese social media by storm, Song wrote that the young women seemed to be "competing with each other to pay tribute" to the party.
"It was like a horror film, watching them lined up there competing with each other to pay tribute like that: it really made my flesh creep," Song wrote on her personal Weibo account after the ceremony was broadcast live to the nation.
Her comments sparked a deluge of pro-government abuse before her account was deleted.
Xian-based current affairs commentator Zhuang Zhi said Song's comments wouldn't have resulted in censorship in "a normal, free society."
"This is a further strengthening of ideological control, and controls are getting tighter and tighter," Zhuang said.
"This is very harmful to society."
State media named the youth representatives as Beijing primary school students Yao Muchen and Peng Youxin, representing the Chinese Young Pioneers, and university students Feng Lin and Zhao Jianming, for the Chinese Communist Youth League.
"The four students jointly delivered an affectionate ode to the party," the state-run China Daily newspaper reported.
"Today, we make a vow to the party: listen to the party's call, are grateful to the party and follow its lead," it quoted them as saying in unison, before repeating "Rest assured, CCP, we are ready to build a powerful China!" four times.
'Ticket to a brighter future'
Feng Chongyi, a professor of Chinese Studies at the Sydney University of Technology in Australia, said many young people in China see party membership as the main ticket to a brighter future.
"Now thousands of troops are trying to cross a single-plank bridge," he said of the current employment market. "They are all trying to squeeze into the civil service to find employment."
Feng said the CCP has little to do with ideology, and is more of a vehicle for economic advancement.
"The party itself has no soul ... and the privileges it gives access to come at the cost of enslavement and political risk," he said.
The closure of Song's account came as large numbers of WeChat accounts were shut down around the July 1 centenary, a Christian pastor in the eastern province of Shandong told RFA on Friday.
"A lot of public accounts belonging to our church members have been deleted, including my official account," he said. "Sometimes we can't post messages on WeChat, either."
"It has been pretty bad for some time now," he said.
A Beijing resident who gave only her surname, Wang, said posts are constantly being deleted from the WeChat groups she belongs to.
"Sometimes, posts I saw in the morning on a WeChat group will be gone by the afternoon," Wang said. "Sometimes, even by noon."
A resident of the southern province of Guangdong surnamed Chen said the deletion of WeChat posts is widespread now, and appears to be part of the government's "stability maintenance" tactics around the centenary.
"The authorities have achieved the ultimate in stability maintenance measures during this centenary," Chen said.
"After allowing the Chinese people to live relatively unfettered lives over the past 40 years or so, the authorities now seem in a hurry to take that away from them."

Walk Through Landscape Designer Paolo Pejrone's Happy Gardens
For half a century, Italy's elite and tastemakers the world over have turned to Paolo Pejrone to create happy, harmonious gardens. Today the 76-year-old landscape designer shows no sign of slowing down
Sarah Medford
Oberto Gili
Paolo Pejrone remembers the moment when his life took an irrevocable turn. It was January 8, 1970, at around four o'clock in the afternoon, and Pejrone—then an architect in his late 20s—was visiting the Turin home of Gianni and Marella Agnelli. The couple were family acquaintances, and though he didn't know them personally, the eager young aesthete had accepted a teatime invitation in the hope of being introduced to Marella and her houseguest, legendary British landscape designer Russell Page. "I met them both at the same moment," recalls Pejrone, still pinching himself over having encountered his greatest patron and his greatest teacher in a single afternoon. "That conversation changed my life."
Over the past half-century, Pejrone has done anything but squander his good fortune. Now 76 and an esteemed landscape designer himself, he's created some 800 gardens across Europe for clients ranging from the Agnellis to Valentino and Giancarlo Giammetti to Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan—even, he reveals, "for the joy of Pope Benedict." His new book Private Italian Gardens (Mondadori Electa) highlights this illustrious past, but it can barely hint at the future: Pejrone is busier than ever, tending to a grand estate on Capri, a Renzo Piano–designed hospital in Bologna, and a historic plot near Piazza San Marco in Venice.
Dario Fusaro/Private Italian Gardens, by Paolo Pejrone, Mondadori electa, 2017
Irrigation tanks masquerade as reflecting pools at Bramafam, which features wild strawberries, boxwood hedges, and banana plants.
Page remains a touchstone because Pejrone apprenticed alongside him for 18 fruitful months in England, Ireland, and Italy. "Russell made me a gardener," Pejrone says by phone from Bramafam, his own Arcadian retreat in Piedmont. "He was a huge school for me—in simplicity most of all. I learned that little and big things can be at the same level of importance. How to arrange and grow plants, how to think about space. They are different languages, but the same story." Following his time under Page, Pejrone traveled to study gardens his mentor had admired and later collaborated with Marella Agnelli on the grounds of Alzipratu and Villar Perosa, her homes in Corsica and outside Turin. The latter was Page's masterwork. "I believe he was the only real disciple Russell ever had," she told House & Garden in 2004.
The syllabus Page had prepared stopped short of South America, and in 1972 Pejrone decamped for Brazil to visit the landscapes of Roberto Burle Marx. For six formative months, he studied with Burle Marx and drank in the ecological precepts of Rio de Janeiro's visionary artist/plantsman. "Russell was the best of the past," he observes, "but Roberto was the future. In 60 years of gardening, I've moved from Page to Burle Marx. Gardening now is coming not from my eyes or hands but from the heart."
For all its diversity, Pejrone's work is distinguished by a profound sensitivity to site. Many of his gardens hover on the edge of steep banks that he tames through skillful terracing; sun-drenched areas are often enlisted as olive groves because, as he explains, "the superfluous alone will not bring harmony." And the designer is a true conjurer of shade, coaxing it into being in subtle and myriad ways that range from jewel-toned passages, where roses tumble over lofty pergolas, to penumbral glades that move across cool lawns like love notes slipped under a door.
Penelope roses cover an arbor at a hillside estate in Porano, Italy.
A pragmatist as well as a romantic, Pejrone sings the praises of "happy" landscapes arrived at through "hard work and great effort, no doubt, but without making too much 'noise.' A garden that's too elaborate, too sophisticated, too neat will eventually become a nightmare." Potagers are often the heart of his schemes, and clients enjoy their eggplants and strawberries knowing that—at Pejrone's urging—lukewarm water, heated by the sun, has been used to irrigate them. If that sounds a bit silver-spade, he doesn't think that way; he's simply invested the time to learn what plants need and what they don't. "Too much peat and too much water in the garden can wreak more damage than one can even imagine," he warns, slipping into the tone he perfected as a longtime garden columnist for two of Italy's biggest daily newspapers, La Repubblica and La Stampa.
His national popularity comes as no surprise. He tolerates weeds, shuns fertilizer, and turns a blind eye to the small creatures who, he insists, have as much right to the landscape as he does. (Perhaps the Italians have never met Pietro Rabbit?) A true child of the 1960s, Pejrone writes of his own garden, "All the plants and I want is to be happy without any hang-ups."
These days, Pejrone is the mentor, turning out solidly trained graduates every year at a horticultural school outside Turin. "We are making real gardeners, with their hands, hearts, and heads," the designer insists. "Not dreaming, but really effective. Plants are in the heart and the heavens. The gardeners have to be in the middle." For Pejrone, the middle is no doubt a ravishing place.

If you do IVF with ICSI do you have a better chance of the embryo implanting if you do assisted hatching?
Depends on the day of transfer. Assisted hatching for Day 3 embryos has been shown to be beneficial for patients >38 years old, those with a previous IVF failure and those patients whose embryos are surrounded by a thicker than normal zona pellucidae. Patients in other categories may or may not benefit from AH. Assisted hatching has been shown to be beneificial for blastocyst stage transfers (Day 5) in all patient groups.
ICSI makes a very small (3-4 micron diameter) hole in the zona pelluciade when the sperm is injected. Assisted hatching on Day 5 embryos involves making a hole approximately 30 microns in diameter. These are not equivalent procedures, so having ICSI does not negate the necessity of assisted hatching in patients that would benefit.

 Awards and Recognition for DARE Electronics, Inc.
DARE is the proud recipient of numerous awards and recognition and strives to maintain its reputation for 100% Quality and On-Time Delivery.
Prior to DLA Land & Maritime discontinuing the program, DARE Electronics, Inc. was the honored recipient of eleven (11) consecutive Defense Logistics' Agencies Gold Excellence awards. These prestigious awards recognize companies that have maintained a 100% perfect on-time delivery and quality rating for each of the past twelve consecutive months.
DARE's unprecedented history of Gold awards began in 2003 when the Defense Supply Center Richmond (DSCR) presented DARE with its Best Value Gold Medalist Award. It was followed each of the next ten years by the Defense Supply Center Columbus' (now DLA Land and Maritime's) Recognition for Excellence Gold Awards.
Further, the Company was also honored to receive an unprecedented four (4) awards from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) in Fort Belvoir, VA before DLA headquarters discontinued the program as well. Two separate awards recognized DARE for Vendor Excellence while one recognized DARE for its Outstanding Readiness Support and another for its Innovative Business Practices. DARE Electronics, Inc. gratefully thanks and acknowledges the Department of Defense and the Defense Logistics Agencies for the recognition and awards and all DARE's employees for their unparalleled commitment to 100% on-time delivery, quality, and customer service.
Moreover, DARE Electronics is also the proud recipient of a Boeing Gold Performance Excellence Award and two Boeing Silver Performance Excellence Awards. The Boeing Company issues the awards annually to suppliers who have achieved superior performance and delivered a minimum number of items. DARE earned the awards by maintaining a 100% Gold on-time / quality rating and a 100% on-time / 99.8% Silver quality rating with Boeing for each of the various 12-month performance periods.
The Company is also pleased to have facility approval to manufacture relays in accordance with MIL-PRF-6106 (formerly MIL-R-6106). In order to receive QPL approval, the Company had to undergo an audit of its facilities and demonstrate it had a well-documented quality system. Although the Company had more than 30 years experience in the relay industry, the Company had not sought QPL approval to manufacture relays until 2005. Approval to manufacture relays in accordance with MIL-PRF-6106 allows the Company to better meet the needs of its customers and demonstrates the Company's products meet demanding military and aerospace standards.
In addition, Lockheed Martin granted DARE SPC Certification in 1999 based upon an audit of the Company's statistical process control (SPC) program, facilities, and quality system. Moreover, Lockheed Martin subsequently recognized DARE as a Quality Select Supplier based on its 100% on-time delivery and quality performance and delegated product acceptance authority to DARE Electronics. As a result, parts can go direct from DARE Electronics to Lockheed Martin - saving the customer time & money.

Looking for gay bars in Louisville during Pride Month? Try one of these LGBTQ places
Louisville Courier Journal
Pride Month 2021 is here!
But beyond the June festivities, Pride culture is rooted in the year-round efforts and courage of America's LGBTQIA+ communities. Pride celebrates individuality and strives to educate people about LGBTQ issues and encourage people to stand up to political powers who seek to oppress it.
And what's one of the best ways to support your growing community? Party local.
(Side note: There are many other ways you can support local LGBTQ efforts. But gay bars during Pride month is a great start. Visit the Fairness Campaign website for more.)
What does LGBTQIA mean? And more answers to your Pride Month questions
So, if you're new to Louisville, new to the LGBTQ scene or are just looking to have a good time with some of the city's friendliest citizens, we've got some ideas for you.
Here are the most well-known and popular gay spots in the city:
Know of any gay or LGBTQ-friendly bars that should be on this list? Send an email to Kathryn Gregory at kgregory@courier-journal.com
Chill Bar — Highlands
1117 Bardstown Road, 859-913-8679
Aptly named for the summer (or any season, really), Chill Bar is a Highlands neighborhood staple. The spacious front and back patios and outdoor bar let you enjoy the weather the right way.
It touts itself on Facebook as, "a favorite nightspot known as the place where fun happens."
Located near the corner of Bardstown Road and Grinstead Drive, Chill Bar has a small dance floor inside and cornhole boards on the outside. You get the best of both worlds, with the bar crowd rotating from casual to dance-ready.
It's Pride Month!Here are 7+ things to do around Louisville to support the LGBTQ community
The bar also hosts karaoke and trivia nights on weekdays. That's right — "RuPaul's Drag Race" and Disney princess trivia are real things that you really need to experience.
One Facebook reviewer wrote, "Chill bar is just that, a brilliant, charming, and fun atmosphere. Especially since the remodel, it's even more inviting and comfortable."
Play Louisville — Butchertown
1101 E. Washington St., 502-882-3615
Small neighborhood bars not your cup of tea vodka soda? Play Louisville's big, bold and boisterous atmosphere should suit you.
This place is where you go in Louisville to see regular high-quality drag shows. You can come here almost any night of the week and are sure to see a showstopper, like famous queens from "RuPaul's Drag Race" or a Louisville legend.
"Louisville's best theatre with our cast of Play Mates," according to its Facebook page. "The art of Female Illusion — Perfected! Louisville's Hottest Dance floor."

Play has a roomy patio area, plenty of dance floor for large crowds and three bars. Yes, three. It also holds salsa classes on Wednesday nights, the occasional foam party and drag bingo.
Big Bar — Highlands
On the smaller side of Louisville's LGBTQ scene is Big Bar. Tucked in the Highlands, this bar is big in spirit but not in size.
Big Bar has a nice patio colored with bright orange umbrellas and stylish heat lamps in the winter. On busy summer nights, this spot tends to spill over into the sidewalk. But a good time always awaits.
There's very little room for dancing — but maybe leave that to the professionals they bring in some Thursdays for Bad Habits.

One Facebook reviewer wrote, "Stopped there yesterday for a vodka soda. The drink was stiff and the atmosphere was awesome. I loved the diversity of the bar and a number of people, both staff and customers, were welcoming and friendly. I will be back!"
Nowhere Bar — Highlands
While not technically a gay venue, it would be remiss to exclude Nowhere Bar.
That's because it has a healthy gay following. But here you'll find probably a more even mix of people than other bars on this list.
Its Facebook page describes the club as a "video and dance bar specializing in electronic dance music."
And boy is this accurate. This is one of the best places to dance in the whole city, as long as you don't mind an occasionally crowded dance floor. There's also a large patio area, pool and — as if that's not enough — a delicious restaurant/bar next door, called Somewhere, from the same owners.

One review wrote of Nowhere, "Best nightlife in Louisville! If you want to have a great night out of dancing this is the place!"
PRIDE Bar + Lounge — New Albany
504 State St., New Albany, Indiana, 812-200-9546
As Louisville continues to burst at the seams with LGBTQ establishments, it's no wonder some has spilled across the river into Southern Indiana (OK, so that may not be where credit is due).
PRIDE Bar is the only Southern Indiana gay bar near Louisville.
This New Albany gem is drizzling in glamorous showgirls — mostly on Saturday nights — and is definitely worth a sashay and a shontay over the bridge — unless of course you live there.
There's a small dance floor, a stage for shows and a large patio. Plus, $2 mimosas on Sundays!
More gay and LGBTQ spots around Louisville
While this list encompasses some of the more prominent LGBTQ places around the city, Louisville has so much more to offer a curious crowd.
In fact, a 2015 Gallup survey shows that 4.5% of residents in the 13-county Louisville metro describe themselves as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. And in 2016, the Human Rights Campaign's equality index gave Louisville a perfect score and noted it is one of 37 cities that are fueling equality despite being in a state that lacks non-discrimination protections.
Recently, a national nonprofit again recognized the University of Louisville as among the "Best of the Best" LGBTQ-friendly universities.
So you won't have to look very hard to find accepting businesses around the Louisville area. Whether it be places like The Hub or Zanzabar, which have played host to LGBTQ events, or The Limbo and Barbarella, which have touted an LGBTQ-friendly environment, the city is dripping in Pride.
Don't just take my word for it, see for yourself!


Former JP Morgan Global Head of Energy Trading and Coinshares' Chairman, Daniel Masters recently shared his views on the Bitcoin rally expectations and current fall of Bitcoin on CNBC's Fast Money. He elaborates his views on cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. He believes that taxonomy of all the cryptocurrency related objects is a necessary step for a clearer market.
Coinshares is a company that analyzes and research on the cryptocurrency market. They are known for publishing strategies for private investors.
He gives his personal opinion saying it is very early to judge Bitcoin's growth prospects. The energy trading industry that he worked for before, he watched it for around 15-20 years and saw it develop from industrial logistics business to high-frequency trading business.
He said that 3 years back when cryptocurrency was very small, he had launched Bitcoin Tracker One. Bitcoin Tracker One is an exchange-traded node [ETN] designed to provide access to investors regarding the returns of the underlying asset.
He also mentioned that issue of custody can be solved as the institutional presence in cryptocurrency increases. Many platforms have come up with new institutional products and that's what institutions want from them.
Daniel also said that none of the national jurisdiction can really kill cryptocurrency as it's more of a global phenomenon.
He says that China and the rest of Asian countries are the major market regulators. He also believes the transformation of China occurred due to the cryptocurrency adoption.
The post Bitcoin [BTC] value has nothing to do with institutions – Daniel Masters appeared first on AMBCrypto.


On September 16, 2017 there was organised by coordinators school from the Czech Republic first transnational project meeting where project coordinators from each school and other teachers personally got to know each other, specified and approved the details of the project action plan, divided the responsibilities, discussed all results and outputs.
It was decided to use effective communication and cooperation using modern information and communication technologies e.g. mails, skype, facebook, web sites to teach students and teachers to use all present ways of modern communication for reciprocal knowing each other.
There was discussed all problems concerning with financing this meeting and first learning activity in the Czech Republic. Because of some delays, schools have not received the financial support yet and must finance this from the school money. It means a big problem for all participating schools. The Italian school has not participated because of several reasons – the project coordinator left the school and not the new one has been chosen. But the school has some problems with communication with their national agency.
It was agreed that the first learning activity in the Czech Republic will be from October 15 till October 21.


FINALLY my brow tutorial is here. I wanted to show you guys how I do my everyday brow but also how the pro's do it. I enlisted the help of my friend Suzie, founder of FLYBROW, to help me clean up my brows and achieve my everyday look. Find the exact products I used below. These are my "can't live withouts" but I also included an awesome brow pencil by NYX that's a little less expensive. I have more info for you coming soon like how to achieve a nighttime bold brow, my sister's amazing brow transformation and more fun products out there for you to try so stay tuned. Comment below for any questions!
I loved these tips! Thanks! (Also – I think the links to "FLYBROW" have typos in them – It looks like auto correct changed them to "FLYBLOW" ! Just thought I'd give you a head's up!
No prob 😉 I've got your back girl!
The color taupe by Anastasia!!
Megan, you can also consider tinting your brows an ashy blonde color to pick up some of those hairs so they don't look non-existent! It will also help when filling them in to follow the shape!
Would you mind sharing the products you use?
an all product video is coming soon!
So you don't wax at all? Just tweezing?! That's amazing! Have you ever waxed?
What colors do you suggest for Redheads?
If someone's brows are a different shape (i.e. Not the same thickness throughout) would you recommend plucking to make them the same shape or just implementing these tips while working with the natural shape?
Love this video and love your brows!
Can you tell us how you curl/fix your hair please?
Lauren, I started using your recommended brow products as soon as you posted them. I absolutely love the transformation…brows and mascara are my go to now! Thank you for the video as well. You are so beautiful, and I love your natural look.
I have really dark eyebrows. Should I still get the gel wax?
I use the Anastasia brow wiz as well. I was looking for a good brow gel so thanks for sharing!
Also, will you be sharing a hair tutorial someday for how you do your tousled waves and the products used to achieve it?
Love this! Any chance to get the video a little closer up in future tutorials to see a bit more detail on technique?
To make them look like "twins not sisters"? Isn't it sisters not twins?
Hi Lauren, My eyebrows don't have the same shape (arc is not at the same place), whether that be from over tweezing as a teen or something else. How do I get them to be like twins, as she said? Should I just use makeup or would going to see a specialist work better?
My brows are naturally closer to my eyes than most tutorials I've seen; therefore, any attempt to fill them in makes me look angry. I've tried brushing them upwards and fill them in closer to my forehead (like your tutorial), but my eyebrows are already pretty thick and dark. It ends up looking like Mia in Princess Diaries. Does this mean I should just embrace my natural eyebrows? 😂 Any tips?
You list that you would use soft brown for the brow wiz, but in the video she is saying that she is using taupe. Which one is it? My hair is just like yours, so I want to get the same.
How often do you go through these products? I'm just curious how long they last for the expense. Thank you so much!!
Hi Lauren! I love this tutorial and I love the way you fill in your brows! 😊 I noticed before she filled them in that your eyebrows already had an amazing shape to them! Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to create that natural shape??
Loved this tips!! Do you use these products for everyday? I have been using the NYX brow pencil but I'm not seeming to like it all that much. Do you recommend Anstasia Becerilly Hills one more? Or any other products?
Love this so much! Do you ever use the brow definer by Anastasia or just the pencil wiz? Thanks!
Hi Lauren! Love this post and your eyebrows look great. One quick question- I noticed she said eyebrows should be twins not sisters. I've always heard it the other way around (and anyway twins are sisters, haha), with the idea that you don't need to nitpick them to make them identical. They might be a bit different which is natural. Thoughts?
Loved this tutorial, Lauren! I have the same coloring as you and so excited to see you use the same products I use 🙂 I'm definitely going to try out your technique to get that "browtox" lift ;P love it!
I also have a question for you — I'm a fellow blogger and I love how your signature looks. Did you write that yourself and then upload it? Would love to hear the process on that!
Love this tutorial so much! Thanks so much for posting!
what brand highlighter did you use for under your brows?
Hi! I think our eyebrow color is pretty similar. Do you use Taupe and Soft brown? Sounds like she said she is going to start with the Taupe so I wanted to make sure!
Really enjoyed this blog post, how can I make is so that I get an update sent in an email whenever you write a new update?
Hey! Great tutorial! Could you tell us the name of that highlighter though and where to get it?
Hi Lauren! Can you please do a makeup tutorial? Or share some more makeup products with us?
Yay! A focus on brows , love the video !! Very helpful .
Ahh. I loved loved loved this videos Lauren! It would be awesome to see more 🙂 Maybe make a youtube channel?
What was the name of the high light you used?
Oops I guess I should have read a little further down.
Hi Lauren! Can you please do a makeup tutorial? I have always loved your look and I would love it even more to see how to do it!! Please & thank you!!!
I find I have a hard time trying to find the right shape for my eyebrows, being that they're so thin. What do you suggest is a good way to go about adding some arch to them?
You should follow the natural shape of your eyebrow and work from there always in soft feathered strokes. My mother barely has any hair on her brows and it really helps to take your time and start out lighter before completely coloring your eyebrow in.
What about a hair tutorial ?
Yes I agree hair tutorial please! I love your hair it's stunning and I want to do mine the same!!!!
Help! Ok so I have heard a few different things when it comes to us brunettes picking the right products/colors for our brows and I'd love to hear you and Suzie's option. One is that fair skin toned brunettes with dark brows should try and go 1-2 shades lighter as opposed to more medium skin toned brunettes who should go 1-2 darker. On the other hand I have been told that if you have thick brows you should use products that match the color of your brows exactly and if you have thinner more sparse brows you should use products that are slightly lighter than your brow color..Thoughts?
So if I don't have a lot of eyebrows I go lighter?
When are you going to put a contouring video up? Or at least the products you use! Love your flawless looking skin.
Hi Lauren! Will you do a hair tutorial for how you get those perfect waves??
What do you wear on your lips? Always love the color- most recently on the tv show! Thanks in advance!!!!
Would love to know the blush you use, you have amazing cheek bones and the blush colors you use add a such a beautiful color and glow.
Lauren!! I've been a huge fan since day one!! I'm so glad I found your blog. Can you please do a post on your daily makeup routine? Your skin is flawless and I especially would love to know what you use to highlight an contour! Thanks doll!!
I am also in favored an every day look and products video. Love the blog!!
I need to start putting more effort into my brows, yours are amazing! I think Benefit is going to be my next Sephora purcahse!
Could you show or tell me what you use for everyday makeup ?
Enjoying your blog and show!
Would love to hear about your fitness/workout program!
how often do you get your brows shaped? 🙂 thanks Lauryn!! Love the video!!
I am just soooo obsessed with you and ben!!!!! Love u bothhh!!!!!!
Love this! Thank you Susie & Lauren for sharing these tips.
I love your blog and all your beauty tips. I just love your hair and your style on your show! Would you do a hair tutorial to show us how you get your loose, natural looking waves! Also do you use extensions?
I was watching your latest episode on Freeform and I saw your blog and thought I spied my junior high friend Suzie from Flybrow….and I was right! Crazy small world! Suzie, I'm so happy your business is going well, I still follow the skincare tips from your mom from 7th and 8th grade. Of course I don't try to hair spray my bangs within an inch of their lives anymore. Lauren, best of luck with your blog, it's great and with talented people like Suzie around you, you can't go wrong!
Your brows are on point!!! Have you tried LipSense before for your lips?! We would LOVE the opportunity to collaborate with you (and you can make money selling this amazing product too and all you have to do is post about it!) Email us if you are interested in trying it out/more info! Thank you!!
I really feel like eyebrows make a difference to someone's face! Love this how to video 💕 I'm definitely trying these tips on my brows tomorrow!
Love the video! Would love to see a tutorial on your lash routine? Do you wear false lashes?
Love tutorial & blog is the perfect cuteness. Just can't help to wonder…do you have eyelash extensions or fake lashes? You def have sparkle in your eyes!
If I have dark brown hair, what's the best NYX color to get for my brows?
Is it possible to zoom in when applying the brow liner? Want to see exactly where the line begins and how it's softly applied. Eyebrows turned out great just felt like I couldn't really see what was going on.
Lauren Please show us how to do your famous hair buns!!!
Loved your brow tutorial! I'm a blonde so it helped a lot with my light eyebrows! I would love to see how you do your makeup! You have rosy cheeks and light skin, and I'm the same way. What do you use to get a good coverage??
I am no good when it comes to brows. Thank you for sharing these tips babe! Wonderful video!
First off, I love the brow tutorial… making brows pop is something I think is so important when it comes to completing your look!! I have a question: do you play around with false eyelashes? If so, what brand/type do you like? I am asking because your lashes look so great! And I am getting married in March and am thinking about doing my own make-up and using some falsies (which I have never put on myself before!!). Any suggestions? Much love to you and Ben.
Hey Lauren! Love your eyebrows they are so pretty, great tips. I just saw that you were starting a blog and the Ben and Lauren Happily Ever After Show! You're going to be great!
I know you have struggled with Social Media during the show. I struggle with Over-Posting on Facebook. I am always deactivating my account. Do you have any tips about how to deal with Social Media?
More Videos and Tutorial's on Make-Up and Hair!
Love the eyebrow demo! I have very blonde eyebrows too and I always have a hard time filling them in correctly! Thank you for the tips!
Hey Lauren, what foundation do you use?
I love the benefit gel- my fav!
What eyeshadow do you use? I remember you posting it somewhere but can't seem to find it. Thank you!
Hey! So…your friend mentions that she is using the Taupe shade but then you listed the Soft Brown. Just quirious because I'm pretty ashy too.
That is truly incredible!! I've always struggled with my brows because my one brow has a small scar and I've always had so many difficulties working with them.. I have fair skin like Lauren and my eyebrows are light also, great tips! No promises they'll ever look like that though, no matter how many times I try!!
Any advice Lauren on how to work around an eyebrow with tiny scar? Its not noticeable, just the hair obviously doesn't grow in that part. I have barely any shape, my Mom always tells me to brush them upwards to help with that.
Brush upwards and set with a clear gel. Fill in any sparse or bare areas with a pencil!
The video isn't working. Not sure if it's me or the video?
Love the brow tips. Keep the beauty posts coming. Skincare and makeup routines, pretty please! You always look flawless!!
Please, please, please do a video of your foundation routine!!! Your skin always looks flawless!!!
In the video she mentions she's using the taupe color pencil, but I know you've said you use soft brown. Which do you tend to use for your everyday look? Thanks!
I'm a natural red head and I never know what color to do my brows! I'm not an orangey red. I'm more of a deep darker red. Any help you can give me?
Would you mind sharing all of your make up tips?
1. Everyone always says make your eyebrows sisters not twins. Is that what Susie meant to say but just accidentally flipped the wording or are you actually supposed to make your eyebrows identical?
2. I love your eye makeup I've been looking for a Lauren busnell makeup tutorial but it keeps coming up with random people from the bachelor. Do you think you'll ever do a full glam look or everyday makeup tutorial?
Can you post a tutorial on your entire makeup routine please?! Would love to see that! Looks like the comments above hope so too!!!!
Very nice brow video tutorial. Neat and professionally done. Heads up.
Agreed. Very well done. Nice site too Lauren!

we should see more and more electric trucks on the roads, but not in Europe
by salmalist.comPosted on January 26, 2023
Tesla recently announced that it will invest $3.6 billion in its Nevada factory. It will expand with two new production sites, the first for the new 4680 batteries and the second to house the assembly of its electric truck, the Semi. This shows Tesla's great ambition for the coming years to remain the leader in the electric car.
8 months are free on the ULYS e-money token
The past few months have been quite uncertain for Tesla. If the brand broke the sales record by delivering more than one million cars worldwide in 2022, it faced many challenges, especially at the end of the year. Indeed, sales have plummeted, particularly in China and the United States, leading to steep price cuts to sell off the Model 3 and Model Y's stockpiles. IOn even expected the company to experience its worst year in its history in 2023 due to increased competition from Chinese brands. But it wasn't based on big price cuts that allowed demand to start picking up again.
Heavy investment
But this does not scare Elon Musk, who even plans to doIncrease Tesla investments. And the Gigafactory in Nevada will be particularly affected. As stated in a blog article published on the manufacturer's website, the latter already exists It has invested more than 6.2 billion dollars In this field of production since 2014. As a result, more than 7.3 billion battery cells were produced, which is equivalent to 37 GW/h per year. For comparison, let's note that the Chinese giant CATL, currently established in Europe, produced 100 GWh in 2021.
This is one of the reasons why the company announced a huge new investment. 3.6 billion dollars, or the equivalent of 3.3 billion euros at the current exchange rate. As the site mentions Electrekwe are a long way from Tesla's original plans at the timeinvests only 3.5 billion dollars in this factory, producing 35 GWh of batteries annually, employing 6,500 people. This investment will increase to 100 GWh batteries per year.
Today, the site has at least 11,000 employees3,000 new jobs are planned as part of the expansion of the American Gigafactory. Two new sites will also be built with this new investment, but things are not entirely clear yet.
Tesla expects up to 250 GWh of energy per year after expanding its Berlin plant. That's enough to supply about 4 million cars a year, in addition to the million allowed by the future plant in Nevada.
Electric truck and new batteries
In its post, Tesla emphasizes that two new factories will be built. The former will manufacture the new 4680 batteries that power some Model Ys produced in Austin, Texas. In one week last December, 868,000 cells were produced, enough to power nearly 1,000 cars. With additional production in Nevada, the pace should continue to accelerate further, allowing for democratization. these batteries are cheaper and have better densityand therefore increased autonomy.
Thus, they will allow us to wait for the arrival of solid-state batteries, which, according to experts, should not happen for several years. The second factory will host the production of the Tesla Semi, the first deliveries of which were made late last year. If the electric truck is already assembled in this Gigafactory, this new line should allow for faster speeds.
Once that work is done, Tesla plans to do just that assemble five electric trucks per week. In total, 500 units should be produced annually in the US, while orders are not yet open in Europe. As such, Tesla will then have to compete with more traditional brands such as Volvo and Renault Trucks. However, the latter now offers smaller models designed for other uses and shorter trips. Because let's remember that Semi could travel up to 800 kilometers with a load of 37 tons.
With the price changes and new prices for Tesla in 2023, one thing is clear: the market will be flooded with Model 3 and Model Y. Let's get back to why and how…
